Dell and the Environment

Welcome

One clear and consistent focus has driven Dell's rise and success in becoming the world's leading computer systems company: To meet and exceed the requirements of customers - large and small - across the world. The same focus on business efficiencies and customer satisfaction helps drive Dell's environmental stewardship program to conserve product energy consumption, reduce or eliminate materials for disposal, prolong product life span and provide effective and convenient equipment recovery solutions. By streamlining business steps and processes, Dell minimizes stress on the environment while achieving speed, responsiveness and cost savings that are passed along to customers.
